Supercharging Your Storytimes! Workshop by Saroj Ghoting

I had the opportunity to go to a workshop called Supercharging Your Storytimes! that was led by Saroj Ghoting. This workshop was a follow up to the Every Child Ready To Read workshop I was able to attend in December. We were asked to bring a book that we like to read in storytime with us to use in the workshop and I choose The Loudest Roar by Thomas Taylor. The majority of the workshop had to deal with a project out of Washington state called VIEWS2. VIEWS 2 seems to be a more indepth version of Every Child Ready to Read and the combination of BOTH programs will help me become more intentional in my story time preperations.

For the majority of the meeting, I was gathering ideas and really enjoying what I was learning. The people at my table were fun to work with and we were able to bounce ideas off each other. The only snag my group had was when we were asked to come up with additional ideas to help with comprehension, ideas that were not on the sheet given to us. However, the list of activities and ideas to help comprehension was so exhaustive, that we could not come up with any thing!

Ms. Ghoting's workshop is a wonderful workshop and she supplies a ton of handouts to follow. Her personality is bubbily and inviting. If you have the opportunity to attend one of her workshops, I would highly recommend it. If you can't meet her in person, at least check out her Early Literacy website here. She supplies you with research, ideas and resources to help you with story time. Her website is woderful!
